Here is a list of my top ten music downloads of the year. Note these are all free promotional material is is widely available to download and encouraged by the artists themselves.
Revolutionary But Gangsta Grillz: Dead Prez
If you thought they were militant before, just wait.
The Madness (Onye-Ala): J. Periord & Nneka
Beautiful, amazing Nigerian soulstress, and she might just be mad.
The Cleveland Show: Chip Tha Ripper
Name sames a lot. but the flow will have you hooked.
Late Night With The Roots: Various Artists
Fallon's show is painful to watch. Roots, as always, rock the house. Now here is a way around all that
Mos Dub: Max Tannone
Simple and plan, Mos Def over classic reggae and ska. what more do you want.
Roses N’ Guns: Nikki Lynette
Hard, raw girl from the Chi - a little Axel Rose, a little Nina Simone, all just Nikki Lynette.
Live at Southpaw BK: Quadron
Amazing soul, electric pop duo from Denmark. This is a must have, watch their videos too.
Enter the Magical Mystery Chambers: Wu-Tang vs. The Beatles
Mash-Ups for the most part are what ever, but this effort is solid. Unfortuneately it is no longer available for download
Winter Skank Mix: 100dBs
Just a nice old skool mix of ska using original equipment.
NBA LIVE 10 Mixtape: Mick Boogie
From De La Soul to Matt & Kim to Zion I to Six Sense, this mixtape is awesome. The two tracks from De La alone is worth it.
Anywho, Happy Christmas and remember, the best type of giving free.
